The History of Rockband

This is a discussion on The History of Rockband within the General PS3 Discussion forum, part of the Everything PlayStation; The Greatest American Music game series of all time
Just got released by Harmonix, this is their swan song for ...

While it's time has passed, Rock Band 1,2,3 Lego and Beatles all provided great moments, whatever your feelings on music games, nothing feels quite like the joy of getting a band together, playing and singing ( badly ) at the top of your lungs to some cheesy rock ballad.

Three of my mates got together one New Year's Eve and jammed out to this. Gosh, that was four years again, at least. I did vocals, because it was the easiest, and I killed it. Other than that my experiences with the series has been sparse.

This depresses me. One of my favorite games to play, especially with friends. Is DLC completely discontinued? Or is it just weekly? Because I know this is the last weekly DLC. I want to see Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. >_>

my favourite music game series is DJ Hero. I was annoyed they only made two. As that series was still fresh just because they ruined Guitar Hero they cancelled DJ Hero too. I guess it didnt sell well but what do you expect when you sell it for £100. I only got it because I found it half price. I got really good at the DJ Hero games and was hoping they made another but ah well.

Rockband Network will still be going (Aka you make your own music, you apply the notes, then you upload it to rockband), but Harmonix-Made DLC is dead.

They got funding for three games in the works, None rockband related, but people that played them said it blown them away in how they worked.

i've always liked rockband better than guitar hero. besides guitar hero went way overboard with games and ruined the franchise. yes rockband made a few games but they made it very easy to carry over your tracks from side games into the main rockband game. i've recently got the beatles and green day rockband songs into my rockband 3 along with several track packs like metal and classic rock for super CHEAP. i'm very excited to see what they do next gen

Beatles: Rock Band was my first game for the PS3, and it's still one of the best things to play if you have a few people together. I played it last weekend, actually. There is always a long break for me between plays though so my guitar batteries are always dead.
